From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What the fuck is this picture though? Who is taking these? What do they mean?

I don't have answers but I love this one. They're usually pretty dumb, like a wrench on a motherboard or something. This one is actually funny with no intent on being serious.

You don't open your beer on a CPU socket? It's like when you use your teeth: It's all about the leverage.

Well, I don’t, because mine is for ripping threads. Use the right tool for the job.

It's a clickbait.

In past it was a symbol of being rich, nowadays you have to use an Nvidia or bust.
